Dear Praying Friends, The last month and a half has been an exciting time in our ministry. We broke our last attendance record of 26 with 32 people attending one of our Sunday services. This was just for an average Sunday service without any kind of special promotion. Since then, our average attendance has gone from 15-18 to 24-26 people attending each week. Please pray for some who have been faithfully attending our service and still have not yet accepted Christ. We have about 4 people … [Read more...] about October Prayer Letter

August 2020 Update
Dear Praying Friends, The last couple of months have been full of activity and excitement at Community Baptist Church. Since our last update we have seen another person saved.

With Lawrence being a heavily Spanish speaking area, it is a great fit for them to be a help to us and for … [Read more...] about Busy New Year
New Baby and Opportunities to Come See Her!
Dear Praying Friends, Thank you so much for your prayers and support! We have had a busy couple of months. On October 8th, at 4:30 am, after a very quick labor, Lucy Charlotte Stelzig was born, weighing 7 lbs and 13 oz, and measuring 20 inches long. Lindsey is recovering well and we actually feel like this has been the easiest postpartum so far. Lucy is a very easy baby, rarely crying and eating and sleeping well.

September Update
We continue to be amazed by the Lord’s leading and provision over the last several months. We are excited to announce that we have settled on a church name. As I mentioned in our last update, Lawrence has developed a reputation as being a difficult and dangerous town. As in any town Lawrence has its less desirable areas but those who live in Lawrence will acknowledge the deep sense of community you feel in the city of Lawrence. Particularly in the summer months, you can find people out and … [Read more...] about September Update
